So, an update on moving: I may get the chance to stay in Seattle in the next 3 months or so. I've talked to people and they think they can get me settled to move by the time I go back to FL in December. So, if you'd like to give me an early birthday gift and help me stay out there, here you go:

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

We are fortunate to have reached our initial goal (late pledges open!) We also support other speculative fiction magazines, three of which are fundraising right now. Please check out and support Lightspeed and Nightmare kck.st/4dxFQc7, and Apex kck.st/4hWOmUL, all publishing great fiction.

Got a letter today dated 9/3/26 that said my health insurance would expire 7/31/26 and cobra blah blah even though nothing of the sort is or has happened in case you wondered about the state of U.S. health insurance. (I called and verified active policy, so don’t worry on that front).

ICYMI, Hope Dies Last is live! In this project, we're pushing the boundaries of DH-compatible design, giving you frames with rich worldbuilding and innovative custom mechanics. We're bringing you: 3 campaign frames 1 toolkit zine 1 deck of defiance 1 gorgeous map pack ttrpg.fund/hdl

Look, I actually *am* curious about comic-superhero news, but I would love it if we could stop using the movie versions as key art and words like ‘recasting’ when covering said comic book news.

Vague post related to something else-social: were you piled on for a generic benign statement, or for a more pointed and validly-critiqued statement you’re now giving a generic, benign re-frame? I mean, in the age of the hyperlink, if you don’t link the OP, I’m inclined to think it’s the latter.

Hello everyone, Translunar Travelers Lounge opens soon for submissions. Given some recent developments, our assistant editor has an important announcement. It has been charged by the most recent full moon for optimal energy. #submissions #Translunartravelerslounge #writesky

I struggle engaging with other artists, partly because I know how limited my art vocabulary is. I know enough to help me parse a piece of art, but not enough that I feel fluent in really discussing that parsing. Self-taught problems, as it were. 😅
